Critique of Cynical Reason by Peter Sloterdijk
Upon its publication in Germany in 1983, this author's book stirred both critical acclaim and consternation, attracting a wide readership. He finds cynicism the dominant mode in contemporary culture, in personal and institutional settings; his book is both a history of the impulse and an investigation of its role today, among those whose earlier hopes for social change have crumbled and faded away.Peter Sloterdijk holds a doctorate in German literature from the University of Hamburg and has published two other books in Germany, on literature of the Weimar Republic and on Nietzsche.
